Description
Born in 1935 near Leon, France, Jacques Pepin has been surrounded by food his entire life. From his apprenticeship at the young age of 13, to working in Paris as a young adult, to immigrating to the states in 1959, Pepin knew from the beginning that his life would be centered around food even though chefs weren’t adored as they are today, and cooks typically lived a humble, modest life out of the spotlight. Today at age 87, Jacques has published over 30 cookbooks, been on over 13 series of 26 shows with PBS, wrote a column for the New York Times for nearly 10 years, taught at Boston University for over 70 years, and has won 24 James Beard Awards. In this episode, Jacques takes us on a journey of his childhood through later adult years, and shares stories about things like turning down a position as JFKs personal chef and what it was like hosting a television series and being lifelong friends with Julia Child, plus his thoughts on family and cooking, and why he believes the kitchen is the most sacred place in the home.
